The Display Handicap was an American long distance Thoroughbred horse race held annually from 1955 through 1990.[1] A race for 3-year-olds and up, it was run at the Jamaica Race Course from inception through 1958 at a distance of 2<templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1⁄16 miles. In 1959 the race was moved permanently to the newly renovated Aqueduct Racetrack after which the Jamaica track was closed and the property sold to real estate developers.[2][3][4] From 1959 through 1969 it was contested at 2 miles then its final two decades was run at a distance of <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />2+1⁄4 miles. The Display Handicap was traditionally held on the last day of racing in New York City for that calendar year.[5] It began ending the season on December 31, 1976, when year-round racing was introduced in New York.

The race was aptly named for Display, a son of Fair Play (as was Man o' War, elected #1 in the Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century). Display was noted for being able to carry heavy weights over marathon distances successfully. The Display Handicap was distinctive for the fact that many horses who normally ran in claiming races (but possessed abundant stamina) would be entered in it, and a few such horses went on to win the event. In 1978, Seaney Bear nosed out Framarco, another horse who ran mostly in claiming races. They competed in one of the two divisions of the race which were run in that year, necessitated by an unusually high number of horses entered in the race. Although the race was for 3-year-olds and up, it was rare for a 3-year-old to win it; when In the Ruff won the 1983 running he became the first 3-year-old winner of the Display since Dean Carl in 1963, and the first ever at the <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />2+1⁄4-mile distance.[6]

The Display Handicap was run in two divisions in 1974 and 1978 but in its later years field sizes became progressively smaller, with only five starters in what would prove to be the final running on December 31, 1990.[7] The discontinuing of the Display Handicap left the Valedictory Stakes at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario (run at <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1+3⁄4 miles) as the longest stakes race run on the dirt in North America.[8]

Historical notes

Mrs. Edward E. Robbins' Midafternoon came into the 1956 Display Handicap having already won two of that year's important races, the Metropolitan and Massachusetts Handicaps.[9][10] In winning the Display, Midafternoon set a new Jamaica Race Course record with a time of 3:29 3/5 for 2<templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1⁄16 miles.[11]

Primordial II was an Argentine-bred who had been racing in Venezuela for trainer Laffit Pincay Sr., father of Laffit Pincay Jr. who in 1966 would emigrate to the United States where would become one of the most successful in American racing history and a U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee. Primordial II was brought to the United States to run in the mile and one-half Washington, D.C. International Stakes. The 1962 Venezuelan Horse of the Year finished sixth to the legendary American runner Kelso but came back to win the two-mile Display Handicap by eight lengths over the heavily favored Christiana Stables runner Smart.[12]

Paraje, an Argentine-bred bought as a two-year-old by the Venezuelan-owned Stud Los Libertadores who would race him in Venezuela until being sold in late 1970 to American businessman Sigmund Sommer. Paraje won the 1971 Display Handicap in track record time then won it again in each of the next two years.[13][14] In the 1973 edition Paraje set a new American and world record time of 3:47 4/5 for <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />2+1⁄4 miles on dirt.[15] Paraje's owner, Sigmund Sommer, would win this race a record total five times.

The only other horse to win the race more than once was Louis R. Rowan and Wheelock Whitney Jr.'s Quicken Tree who first won it in 1967 and after not running in the 1968 race, came back to win it again in 1969, defeating Hydrologist by 7 lengths.[16]

The 1976 race was won by Frampton Delight when Cunning Trick was disqualified for interference as the two battled down the homestretch.[17]
